A lot of these guys grew up up in a single parent home, and need a father figure. They need to focus on football, and not politics. Tell the players that they need to stand up, put their hands on their heart, and stand at attention, or else they go back to the locker room and undress for the game. They get a few chances, and after a few episodes, they get traded or cut. I think that if they were cut for not standing for the flag, their career would be about over, knowing this group of owners.
From what I understand, this really isn't an issue in Division 1 football. If you try to pull this stuff for a division 1 program, you don't play that game, and will probably lose your scholarship if you keep doing it.
